abstract="Violent injury is a leading cause of death and disability among young Black men,  with the highest rates occurring in low-income urban populations. Hospital-based  violence intervention programs (HVIPs) offer a promising opportunity to address the  biopsychosocial factors that adversely affect this population. However, there are  major gaps between the needs of young Black male survivors of violent injury and the  forms of care provided by HVIPs. Patient-centered outcomes research provides a  useful mode of inquiry to develop strategies to decrease these differences. Care for  survivors, including treatment for traumatic stress disorders, must be  reconceptualized to center the lived experiences of young Black men. This paper  qualitatively explores how these survivors of gun violence express symptoms of  traumatic stress and the ways in which their narratives can inform the  implementation of the biopsychosocial model in HVIPs. A phenomenological variant  ecological systems theory framework was used to analyze participant narratives to  aid in understanding their symptoms of traumatic stress and post-injury affective  changes as both psychologically and socially important experiences. Such insight may  inform changes to HVIP practice to address persistent health disparities related to  violence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
